Studied composition under John Corigiiano at Lehman College N.Y. and Jazz with many of the great artists in New York. I performed with Lionel Hampton for years and with the great Tito Puente. While performing with these greats, I composed many compositions for a Jazz Orchestra and had my music performed at Carnegie Recital Hall, Avery Fischer Hall and Alice Tully Hall.
